Plot
The story is about a young Brahmin, Gouridasan Namboothiri living in a poor family with his mother and sisters. Gouridasan's father, Suryamangalathu Brahmadathan Namboothiri was an esteemed priest, but after his death, his mother, sisters, and him were thrown out of the family by his evil younger brother, Surya Namboothiri.
Later in order to get his rights in the ancestral family property, he and his friend Ayyappankutty masquerade themselves as the priests who have come to stop a vampire, in order to steal the documents of his rights.
